NOW FAIRLY OPENED.

The stage coach season about New York is
now fairly opened Fashions in dress and in
| color and style of coach are almost endless.
You may see striped body with Swiss over
skirt or blue body with red running gear.
Some like the neutral shades in horses, para
sols and wheels, while others prefer the black
and yellow or hornet combination Horses
are wearing their tails higher in coaching
this season than heretofore, and speckled dogs
who attend the coach are not hanging their
tongues out SO far as they will, no doubt,
as the season advances
Each passenger Is only allowed fifty pounds
of luggage, so / had TO leave my trunk after
all, and take only lunch basket, a valise
and jar of pickles. But man who figures
carefully can get from here to Pelham and
return with fifty pounds of luggage very
comfortably. AS he gets backs before Coach
evening he need take no night clothing, and
with light flannel suit to lunch in at Pei
ham, he needs little else in addition to the
suit he wears on the journey The light fan
mel suit need not weigh over four pounds,
and he can make up the other forty-six
pounds in neckties
Many gentlemen make a great mistake bv
loading themselves down on these trips with
thus cutting themselves down to not over
three or four pounds Of neckties Those who
have gone through it know how mortifying it
is to be caught nine or ten miles from home
and have To spend the whole afternoon in a
morning necktie, or to carry an assortment
of English summer scarfs for a sunny dav and
then have the sky cloud up and the wind
come from north by northwest, when YOU are

who lost his luggage on the way to Pelham

Hunting Deer by Night.
Night hunting with jack light Is a
practice which the law seems hardly able
TO check, and it has strong fascination
for both guides and amateurs. 1t goes on
all summer; and rs conditions of success
are dark night and absolute quiet, there
Is little fear of detection. Benson, after
his return from one of these secret expe-
dltions, gave me an enthusiastic descrip-
ton of his feelings. There was a sense
of mystery and adventure even in our
creeping away from camp at dusk, hug
ging the west shore of the lake in the
black shadow of the hills and pulling into
the river, where we waited for complete
darkness. Then we lighted the jack, on
staff on the bow of the boat crouched
behind II with my gun. and the guide I'M
shipped the oars and took his paddle /
thought knew that river by heart, had
fished it so often; but the fantastic and
beautiful sights which broke upon me in
the moving light made il seem like an en-
chanted stream. A patch of lilies would
dart out of the darkness and lust clisten
and vanish; the alders, as we swept by
them, turned to silver. Sometimes the !
beam Of light shot into an arch among the !
trees and opened for an instant vision of !
fairy land. We corkscrewed our way |
through that narrow and crooked pass |
age where the bushes brush you on both |
and before the river broadened |
again had lost all idea of the direction |
and almost forgotten what came out for. |
l think that the miraculous silence was a 1
great part of the charm. The guide never
took his paddle from the understanding
US on by just a little turn of his wrist |
and there was not so much as u ripple I
about the boat. 1t was the greatest night
ever hadr'
"And the deery''
''Oh, we didn't get any deer; but / t
iidn't care for that About midnight,
Town by the rapids, we heard an old buck
